I moved the shovel to the to the other M.A.P.S. bed panel and mounted a WaterPort to the passenger side panel.  Much to my surprise, when mounted it sits darn near perfectly to the panel and fender.  It pressurized nicely and has held up well so I'm pleased with it thus far.

 

The truck is getting very close to how I imagined it, I just have to finish the winch.

I've seen that video and its very simplistic, clean, and well done.  I also found where an individual used a hidden winch mount from the prior generation silverado/sierra and was able to mount it to h

Went to Colorado a couple weeks ago and made some big upgrades before leaving. I needed to get my tent up higher so I could close my tonneau cover. I used 1.5x.120" DOM tubing for the new bed rails. They are mounted to the stake pockets, not the bed side so they can be removed with 4 bolts.

 

After a lot of arguing with myself I used the stock running board brackets and 1.75x.120" DOM for a set of rock sliders. This is not a rock crawler but I did bang them on Black Bear Pass and they survived with no body damage.

I found a "water proof" outlet to for the AC unit.

 

Made a small panel that I can turn on lights from the back or front with my up-fitter switches.

 

Then fabbed up a mount for the AC unit.

Pretty sure any 5000BTU window AC unit will work.

Not a cheap option by any means, but I love my FabFours Matrix bumper with prerunner. It affords me 2x 3” cubes on each side (2pair) plus a 30” light bar but is also able to mount a winch. I mounted an open road 13500 winch. Any winch you mount has to relocate the control box if you have a 30” light bar installed but it’s really not that big a deal. I actually prefer having the control box in the engine bay, it’s much higher and I’ve had my whole bumper underwater/mud several times. The control box is the weak point so far as “ipx67 ipx68” is concerned. My box in the engine bay never gets wet, I’d have to screw up big to accomplish that with a 3.5” lift and 35” tires on it.

      Aftermath of Repair of Leaking Brake Line

      By unit731 · Posted

      Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
